About This Home

As of October 2024

Here's a fantastic opportunity to own both a beautiful Greystone 2-flat and the adjacent vacant lot. Both properties are legal city lots, each with a separate PIN number. Owner is packaging sale of both together. Both the building lot and the vacant lot are zoned residential (RT4). This is a lovely stone building just 1 block east of the Historic Garfield Park Conservatory. The first floor unit is a 2 bed/1 bath apartment with gleaming hardwood floors, a recently renovated, large chef's kitchen, replete with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, plus a large adjacent dining area. There are two large bedrooms, an updated tiled bathroom, a huge living/family room area, and a front vestibule/mud room for coats and boots. The first floor is currently rented, with tenants leasing until March 27, 2025. That means you'll be earning money on day one from the first floor apartment rent. The second floor unit is vacant and move-in ready. The second floor boasts 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, plus a large living/family room area, and an office/sitting room. Enclosed back porch is sunny and bright. Carpeted rooms, with hardwood underneath if desired. There's also a full partially-finished basement, which is perfect for storage or a workshop, and also houses HVAC, water heater, and a utility sink. There's a garage behind the property, which is a tear-down. The adjacent vacant lot is 2175 square feet, and can be used as a play space/yard for the building, or you can build it out however you desire. Both lots and the building are being sold together. The building is sold as-is. The location is ideal for transportation, with easy street parking, and a 10-minute drive to the loop via the 290 expressway. The CTA Green Line is a lovely 4-minute walk to the Conservatory station, and numerous bus services are close at hand too. And you'll be just a few steps from the renowned Inspiration Kitchens for wonderful dining experiences and nights out. Take advantage of this rare opportunity and book your showing today!
